Verse 1
D 
Uh -huh, uh -huh
A promise isn't a promise
E 
unless it's kept
G 
And my eyes weren't always open
D 
each time I left
Lies were sometimes easier
E 
than tellin' the truth
G 
And I'd lose a part of me,
D 
like losin' a baby tooth
Bm 
If bravery is difficult,
D 
G 
I'd have to agree
Em 
D 
gravitate toward what's easy
G 
Bm 
But my heart would fall to pieces
E 
Like a waterlogged old pier
G 
If I could not find a boat
C 
G 
To take you away from here
C 
G 
D 
Take you away from here
It's not when things are terrible,
E 
we're made aware
G 
D 
Of how much nicer life looks over there
It's when the breeze is cool
E 
and our brains ain't baked
G 
We dwell on every misstep,
D 
miscalculation and mistake
Bm 
From our different windows,
G 
we find a better view
Em 
Asus4 
D 
Maybe bet ter, only because it's new
Bm 
If disaster keeps us safe
E 
from worry and from fear
G 
That's a price I'd gladly pay
C 
G 
to take you away from here
C 
G 
Take you away from here
D 
Uh -huh
Uh -huh
E 
D 
I bit my lip when I looked you in the eye
Asus4 
Esus4 
Subtly ashamed
E 
D 
that I hadn't tried
Esus4 
E 
Any harder   than I had to,
Em 
D 
well I guess the flesh is weak
C 
Will you love me for my laziness?
F 
G 
D 
Will you turn the other cheek?
Stacks of old newspapers
E 
Are piled upon the floor
G 
With the headlines screaming
D 
threats of homicide and war
We can feel so insulated
E 
in our everyday cocoons
G 
We might as well be living
D 
on the moon
Bm 
Everyone's affected by
G 
every little action
Em 
Gestures are like dynamite,
D 
causing a  chain reaction
Bm 
And should it come to curtain time, let me
E 
G 
Be a Paul Revere, on a midnight ride
C 
G 
To take you away from here
C 
G 
Take you away from here
C 
G 
To take you away from here
C 
G 
Take you away from here
D 
Uh -huh
I don't know I don't know
You
